Weekly Menu Plan {November 2, 2015}

Y’all, it’s November! My head can’t quite wrap itself around that yet. Maybe it has to do with the fact that the high temperatures are still in the 80s most days here in our part of southeast Texas. At least the lows are getting cooler–upper 50s this week.

We’ve got a crazy busy end of the week and weekend this week and some preparations related to those activities, so I’m relying a lot on freezer meals this week. I am managing to squeeze in a new recipe to try but that’s because it’s a make-ahead recipe that I can make in parts the day before. (It’s from one of those softcover magazine/books–want to find out how I keep track of those recipes? Check this post here.)

My daughter hopped on Pinterest again this weekend and found some new lunchbox recipes she wants to try. She adapted a recipe for pepperoni pinwheels that she found and made it last night to bring today. We’ll see how they were once she got to school (thankfully, now in high school, they have microwaves to reheat food in). She’s got a grocery list of other ingredients for other recipes she has in mind so hopefully she’ll find some winners!

Ok, now on to this the weekly menu plan for dinners:
